Book 1 of the Dakotah Treasures series
285 pages · First published 2003
Ruby Torvald travels west with her younger sister Opal to the Dakota Territory expecting to find their estranged father and claim an inheritance. Instead, the sisters discover that his legacy is far more complicated—and more scandalous—than the fortune they imagined. Ruby’s determination to protect Opal and create a respectable future forces her to confront the business and community her father left behind. Lauraine Snelling opens the Dakotah Treasures series with Christian frontier fiction about sisters, inheritance, and a woman determined to turn an unwelcome legacy into the beginning of a better life.
